Comics fear for freedom of speech as a result of new bill.

Heard the one about the priest, the nun and the rabbi? Well, if fears surrounding the new Racial & Religious Hatred Bill are right, you're going to be much less likely to hear it in the future.
The law is intended to protect followers of all faiths from abuse, but critics claim it will impinge on free speech, and some comedians fear they'll no longer be able to poke fun at religion.
BBC News online are asking for your jokes on the new legislation, and they'll publish those that they can from 12pm today.
You can submit your jokes here...
